The [beta]-delayed neutron decay of [sup 18]N has been studied using a time-of-flight array with high efficiency. The [sup 18]N ions were produced by fragmentation of a [ital E]/[ital A]=75 MeV [sup 22]Ne beam. Transitions to nine neutron unbound states have been observed with a total branching ratio of 2.2[plus minus]0.4%. The results are compared with measurements of the decay to [gamma]- and [alpha]-emitting states and the differences between the present results and a recent measurement of the [ital P][sub [ital n]] value are discussed.
